Teacup Agility Trials in St. Louis Area

Cheryl Geer (TN) went to Teacup agility trials in the St. Louis area. On Saturday, "both boys Q'ed in 2 out of 3 runs. Felix got 3rd place in one Standard run and was over time in another. Too bad! He was clean and tries so hard. Got to love the Fee. Felix qualified in his Games run on Saturday but didn't place. Saturday, Mr. Jackson ran wild during his first Standard run taking off courses and generally just being a nutball. Then, he pulled it together on his second Standard run and got 1st place! He qualified in his Games run and finished his TG3 title (Teacup Games 3 (Level 3))!

On Sunday, Felix qualified in both of his Standard runs completing his TSAD title! (Teacup Superior Agility Dog). Jackson qualified in one of his two Standard runs with a 2nd place and qualified in both of his Games runs. Since he had finished his TG3 the day before, these two Games Q's count towards his TACH! He got 1st place for the last Games run of the weekend which counts as 1 of the 3 first places in Games 3 needed for TACH! So, all in all, a great weekend! Two titles, one for Jacks and one for Fee. 1 1st place towards Jackson's TACH and 2 Games legs."

Judith Klotz and "Rusty" (MO) went to the trials on both Saturday and Sunday to meet Cheryl and her two boys. Judith has had Rusty just a bit over two months. Judith is interested in agility and obedience, but is new to the sport. I'm so thankful that Cheryl and Stacy Harris took time out to encourage Judith and give her some ideas about training, classes and options! Judith called me on Saturday night after her first meeting and was so excited! Rusty is littermate to Jeannine Rash's Chloe, Fran & Larry Hunter's Teddy and my "Sugar'. It's quite the litter.

Fran sent some photos of Teddy and his 'brothers', today, so I thought I would share. The brothers are Petey, Teddy and GQ, sitting on a park bench.

Kendall and Zac are still looking for homes. They are two very athletic youngsters, who will be 6 months old late this month. Unfortunately, they are on the larger side for me, I am so disappointed as these two are fun loving, happy, outgoing individuals, that give great kisses and wagging tails!
